Like some other Sentai Mecha, Shurikenjin is able to assume different forms and powers by swapping out its primary components for auxillary components. However, instead of swapping out limbs, Shurikenjin swaps out its control unit with Shinobimaru replacing one of the arms while the auxillary mech takes its place in the pilot seat.
In its default formation with Shinobimaru as its control unit, Shurikenjin is armed with the Drago Sword formed from Dragomaru's tail and the Drago Shield formed from Dragomaru's wings mounted on its left arm. It's default finisher is the Shurikenjin: Splendid Slash where the Drago Sword charges with an energy and slashes the opponent.

- This version of Shurikenjin appears when Shinobimaru ejects the seat of Dumpmaru to either attack or switch out with Dragomaru or an auxiliary OtomoNin. This was later shown again when Shinobimaru, AkaNinger, AoNinger and MomoNinger exit Shurikenjin to save Kinji and Rodeomaru from Youkai Futakuchi-onna, thus leaving Shurikenjin unpiloted until KiNinger and ShiroNinger summon Paonmaru and UFOmaru.
- It was also shown when Shinobimaru ejected out of Shurikenjin so AkaNinger Chozetsu can attack a Youkai after Shurikenjin ejected out of Lion Ha-Ojo. Leaving Shurkenjin in its empty mode is always a risky maneuver as the lack of a control unit leaves it unable to either move or attack. Another version of the empty Shurikenjin appeared when UFOmaru was erased from existence due to the Ninningers being taken to the Kamen Rider dimension.

- Shurikenjin UFO is armed with the UFOmaru Launcher, which typically is used as a short trident lance during normal combat to injure the enlarged Youkai before launching the finisher. As seen in the Ninninger vs. Drive special, the UFOmaru Launcher can be used as a normal gun .
- Shurikenjin UFO's finisher is Shurikenjin: UFO Big Bang, where the robot charges up the UFOmaru Launcher to fire three guided Nin Shurikens which strikes the target in all directions to defeat the Giant Youkai, forming the Ninningers' insignia in the process.
- In Shinobi 15: Youkai, I Never Failed, an alternate version of Shurikenjin UFO is seen with Dumpmaru's arm instead of Shinobimaru as the latter had left with AkaNinger to battle Rodeomaru, who was under Youkai Futakuchi-onna's control.
